FPGA Central

Hi,

Enviroment
Board : Nios development kit(cyclone edition)version 3.1
Quartus : version 4.2
NIOSII IDE : version 1.1.0(build 137)
Host OS : Windows XP(German version)

I have used a standard project from the NIOS examples and downloaded
the sof file through JTAG(ByteBlasterII) from quartus programmer.

When I try to download my software from the NIOSII IDE it gives me the
following error

The instruction in "0x00709536" refers to memory in "0x00c8ãd0".The
procedure "READ" could not be executed on the memory"(translated from
german to english).

I couldnt run my C software on the development kit because of this
problem.I have even reinstalled both quartus and nios dev. kit.But the
same response.

Is it a bug in NIOS software or on windows XP?

I will be obliged if anybody can help me to solve my problem.

Please let me know if more information needs to be provided.

Thanks in advance.

I'm using that same configuration except WINXP is english. I don't
have any problems like you've described.

I have seen WinXP issues come up with drivers. But those problems were
automatically reported through the OS and updates sent all in less that
a week. So be sure you've got automatic updates turned on.

Have you tried to install QuartusII version 5.0 ?

When I had 4.2 installed I sometimes got a similar abnormal
abortion when trying to open my programmer.
